How we assess Literacy ,,.

Year 4 = Stage 4… The new national curriculum sets out what pupils should be taught by the end of each year. This programme of study is more demanding, with a more ambitious expected standard which are ‘age related’ skills set out by the Government. We assess your child in many ways. It provides us with valuable information to analyse and review achievements and progress in learning against age related expected standards. Mrs C

How we assess Stage 4 is sub-divided into the following sub stages which indicate the progress they are making. Beginning Beginning + Developing Developing + Secure Exceeding Mrs C
